Basically bugfixes, some small addons.
Mplayer now is RC1 with Realaudio-codecs and GL-support (needed for Ati-fglrxdrivers).

This version uses unicode, that is not 100% supported, but seems to work pretty well.
XFE displayes äöü strange, but you still can copy these files.
Icewm works fine with äöüß ø , but not with ć in the titlebars.
Default filemanager is Rox2, better integrated than in Muppy 005.

Some small new apps:
upgrade of dvdtool, Pizzasgoods Defaultseditor, Fox calculator, Schweizer Uhr (Flash clock for the desktopbackground), webcam (gspca/xawtv), mc and mcedit (midnight commander, filemanager and editor for the console).
Also cups from Pakt was updated to 0.3.

The boot-scripts were completely replaced to avoid mount-problems of older Muppys.
This is the most important change beside UTF-8.

If you want to upgrade from 005, this should work:
Make a backup of pup_save.3fs.
Delete mupp_212.sfs from your harddisk.
Do it while it is not mounted, so start from a CD with the boot-option
puppy pfix=ram
Then install this dotpup in Muppy 005:

Finally reboot with the Muppy 006 CD.
Not tested, but I hope it works.

Also install this small bugfix:

You also should upgrade the icedock:

Note: please use the arrow-keys on the numpad to choose between xorg ad xvesa.

There still might be smaller glitches, please report them.
I'm away this weekend, so will reply next week.

Had a brief look last night - very nice.
The shutdown issue seems to persist, as with other Puppy version.
There are problems starting and running X. When I press rh cursor key to activate Xorg, it immediately started Xorg testing, but put me into Xvesa??? Furthermore, a very common issue with several distros, I couldn't shift the open window sufficiently on set up screens, when running at 800x600 on an old 15" monitor, to get at the close-button top rhs, or other instruction buttons bottom rhs. Some scaling issue, no doubt.
Will try to find time to confirm or otherwise reproducibility today and also run it up on better HW.

Yes, please use the arrow-keys on the numpad to choose between xorg ad xvesa.
That might work.
This is a bug, that I only encountered in the final Iso, while I uploaded it. I have tried it on 2 computers, so it seems to be a error in the wizard.
Or try xorgwizard again later to use xvesa.

I have no idea what is causing it.
Might have to do with the unicode-settings.
I also encountered that the keyboard-wizard from the Puppy-menu does not work with unicode-settings (if you want to change the keyboard later).
Xdialog then saves a line "locale not supported" instead of the "de.map".
So the wizard had to use "tail" to get the choice and to ignore error-warnings.
I encountered this, when I chose a US-keyboard at startup by accident, and later wanted to use a german one.
Workaround:
Use "chooselocale" to set a non-UTF-8 locale temporarily.
There might be a similar issue with the xorgwizard.
I'll release a bugfix next week.

I think we did this one before, G2?!
It doesn't always wrok (sic)!
Mostly in many, many Linux distros, the problem is raising the window to expose the bottom buttons, but sometimes, horizontal scrolling is defeated, too.
It has, over several years, been very difficult to convince distro makers that regular users, in their transition phase, are most likely to test someone's masterpiece on really old, cr*p, HW.

Distro engineers: make sure your creations work 100% on a 14" vga @640x480 !!!! If you fail on this, you could lose another convert.

I had Muppy 001 and didn't find any upgrade instructions so I went ahead.
Should I have taken precautions?
I got the conversion thing from 211 to 212.
I used my existing pup_save from Muppy and I don't seem to have problems.
I just have a remark on the internet menu
It states as browser SeaMonkey, while in reality it is FireFox. Not the same for me.
It states for mail SeaMonkey and it is in reality SeaMonkey, not Thunderbird.
rowser)
Now from there I can call the browser part of SeaMonkey.
So why not have an entry to call FireFox and one to call SeaMonkey (browser)
